The Ruby Answer

To spotlight the exponential impact we can have on the world by working together, we built the original podcast, Force Multiplier, that features sits down with leaders across the public, private, and nonprofit world who are forging partnerships to tackle some of the toughest challenges facing us today. We highlighted over 12 Thought Leaders and C-suite executives from across the public, private and nonprofit sectors like Feeding America, Goodwill, Cal State University, Patagonia Provisions, Unicef of Switzerland, and more. They joined the conversation and shared how they are forging partnerships to tackle some of the toughest challenges facing us today. Whether we talk about health inequity, nutrition insecurity, or the opportunity gap in education, we highlight ways to solve the world's greatest struggles through unprecedented collaboration. 

We did all of this by tapping into a powerful storyteller with an already established fanbase in the CSR space for the host of the series Baratunde Thurston is an Emmy-nominated host who has the seriousness of a journalist with the humor of a media personality. Baratunde was listed #2 on the Rocket Social Impact's Purpose Podcast Round-Up report, solidifying him as the perfect host for Force Multiplier.
